I would assume that there are probably kids with more tomato on their plates, and it wouldn't surprise me if there were carrots and cucumber there as well somewhere. The kid who took the photo probably doesn't like vegs. :-)<br /><br />Do you mean meagre as in there's not much on the plate, or there doesn't seem to be much of a choice?Erika Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03481148494519879568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042538732461826230.post-92113177064205524942012-08-23T04:09:32.032+01:002012-08-23T04:09:32.032+01:00Oooh, me too!

Not because I thought the lunch needed it from a health standpoint, but because I suspect I'd have put the cheese and tomato on my slice of bread and had an open-faced sandwich with my soup.<br /><br />How wonderful that Veg's blog has opened up such a wide range of communication, in so many nations, about school lunches. Not to mention that the kids are being allowed to be a part of the discussion.<br /><br />I also love the fact that Otava school uses colorful table-runners on the lunch tables.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00694964681619391621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042538732461826230.post-23980794601092922442012-08-23T04:08:45.621+01:002012-08-23T04:08:45.621+01:00A lot of your meals seem a bit meagre and basic, w...A lot of your meals seem a bit meagre and basic, which might be because they're free? Seems like you don't get a lot of extras (salad seems to be very limited and you only have one piece of tomato there).
